Our webpage about Bayou Carlin, Louisiana, has been updated.
You might want to take a look at it:
http://www.attorney.carlin.net/bayoucarlin.htm
Bayou Carlin is located just north of the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway, near Avery Island, LA (where they make McIlheney
Tobasco sause and McIlheney spices). It's named in honor of
Joseph Carlin, Jr., progenitor of the Louisiana Carlins.

We now have a brand new webpage for Carlins in the
State of Maine. The URL is
http://www.attorney.carlin.net/CA-maine.htm
The "Carlins in Maine" page includes three Carlins who
served in the Revolutionary War (actually, one was a
Carline and two were Carlands). It also includes about
50 early Carlin men and women who were married in
Maine.
This came about in a very strange way. I've been
corresponding with Carol LaRue, the web mistress of the
Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, National
Organization. Carol's done an excellent website for
the LGAR,
http://homepages.go.com/~aadar/nlgar.html
She's also done some great webpages for a DAR
chapter and for the Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims.
(You'll love the Civil War music on her Ladies of the GAR
page! It's actually an outstanding website, very well-written,
with good graphics, good writing, good organization and
layout.)
Anyway, Carol sent me the name of a Carlin who was in
the Revolutionary War, who served with Massachusetts
forces. But he lived in the area that became Maine, so it
was time to create a "Carlins in Maine" webpage. It
all worked out well... and if you have any interest in Carlins
in early Maine, it's all there.
